Buddy Dive Resort BONAIRE
Buddy Dive Resort is located on Bonaire, a small island in the southern Caribbean outside the hurricane belt, close to Aruba and Curaçao. This full-service dive resort and five-star PADI
Career Development Center is located right next to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Built with the needs of active people in mind, Buddy Dive provides everything that’s needed for a joyous day of diving. After a busy day of exploring, guests can relax in the spacious apartments and take advantage of the oceanfront restaurants, fleet of rental cars and pair of swimming pools. With its fleet of six custom boats and a well-
stocked ‘drive-through’ offering air and nitrox tanks, the operation at Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire is geared up for guests to make the most out of their diving adventure. They can enjoy the freedom of an unlimited shore-diving package, making as many dives as they want each day, according to their personal safety considerations and level of experience. Throughout the year, custom dive boats head out for daily explorations of Klein Bonaire’s many spectacular sites as well
as other amazing spots not accessible from shore. Visitors can also try a night dive at Klein Bonaire. Consistently rated one of the world’s top dive
spots and a nature conservation pioneer, Bonaire is a dream for every diver and snorkeller, while also offering a variety of activities for non-divers. With as many as 60 officially listed dive sites on
Bonaire and another 20 sites on Klein Bonaire, the island truly is paradise for divers of all experience levels. There are few places in the world that offers the freedom to park your car virtually anywhere along the shoreline, put your gear on and walk right in for a great dive. The crystal-clear waters are almost swimming pool-like, with no strong currents, an average 100ft of visibility and warm water. The waters surrounding Bonaire are protected, with the Bonaire National Marine Park being one of the oldest marine reserves in the world. The healthy reefs and abundant marine life offer a playground wherein divers and snorkellers can spot rays, turtles and an amazing variety of fish species — if you’re lucky, you could even spot some seahorses and frogfish.
Don’t miss Buddy’s Reef, the beautiful house reef located mere steps away from the apartments and ripe for exploration
